Data Improvement for Puerto Rico Recovery Act

This bill would require the Government Accountability Office (led by the Comptroller General) to study the data needs of federal agencies that give grants for Puerto Rico's recovery and report to Congress within one year. The report would list all recovery grants tied to Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Fiona, the 2020 earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic, including type, amount, and disaster. It would also assess how federal statistics are used at each stage of the grant process, identify data gaps and how they affected grants, and list federal data products that leave out Puerto Rico. Federal officials asked for information for the study would have to respond within 90 days.
